Tea has been an integral part of Korean life and culture, steeped in 2,000 years of rich history, tradition and philosophy. Despite being one of the earliest tea-originating countries, Korea's tea and tea culture have remained largely unknown to the western world, especially in comparison to its neighboring countries. Whether you are a seasoned tea professional or are just beginning your tea journey, this 8-day immersive tour should not be missed.

 

Our Korea Tea & Culinary Tour is curated and led by Korea's Tea Ambassador and Global Kimchi Ambassador Yoon Hee Kim - a pioneer recognized for introducing Korea's tea and tea culture to American tea professionals and tea enthusiasts worldwide, as well as offering Kimchi and K-Food programs as an Overseas Korean Cuisine Educator.  Full 8, or 11-day immersive tours, will be offered for Fall of 2026 and Spring of 2027. Fall tour dates and Registration will be available in mid-late July 2026. 

 

Discover rare, authentic gems as you learn about the rich history and culture of Korea with an intimate group of fellow tea and food enthusiasts and professionals.  As you travel south to Jeolla-namdo, you'll  visit tea fields and tea research centers for immersive experiences and learn, first-hand, how to make Korean jangs and Korean temple cuisine. Although the tour will include visits to historical and cultural sites as they relate to tea and food studies, this is an immersive educational journey and not a sightseeing tour.
